We offer over 6000 brand new units and over 30,000 alternator parts and starter motor parts for any vehicle or engine. Established in 2008 we have secured great deals from our suppliers which enable our prices to be very competitive. We are now expanding our business to include commercial alternators and trailer starter motors as well as our heavy duty range including agricultural, plant, machinery, industrial and trucks.

Our brand new parts and components range from after market versions to OE brands including Bosch, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Valeo, Letrika, Lucas, Prestolite and Denso. We sell 12v and 24v alternators and starter motors to cater for all cars and heavy duty engines. We have a vast range of regulators to rectifiers and solenoids which will enable you to repair your own.

The alternator and starter motor are extremely important parts of your engine. We do not recommend buying the cheapest possible as these are made from standard generic parts and may compromise the reliability of your car or engine.

The after market industry constantly changes on a daily basis and because of this we have included only the more common units available to purchase through the website. If your unit is not listed then please call us for a quote on 07915 822042. Our brand new parts are just as competitively priced as reconditioned alternators or reconditioned starter motors and come with 12-24 months warranty. We WILL NOT knowingly be beaten on price and quality.

Fault Diagnosis

Always check the wiring at the back of the unit and the earth connection as these do get rusty. Make sure the battery/cells are in good working order.

When starting your car you hear a clicking noise, your starter motor gear may be sticking. Put your car in to 5th gear and without turning the ignition, roll the car forwards and backwards. This sometimes releases the gear.

You can test if your alternator is charging correctly by using a multimeter. Set the meter to DC current and then connect it to the battery terminals. Turn off all lights and interior electrics and rev the car to 2500rpm. The multimeter should read between 13.5v and 14.4 volts.

A lot of the alternator problems and starter motor problems can be resolved by simply checking the wiring and the general condition of the battery.
